LYRICS
Abomination
A black-eyed nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Doing the same thing over and over agin’
Thinkin’… this time it won’t be the same
That’s just insane
Doing the same crime throughout time
Stuck in a rut of the moral lame
Slain our own brain

Appropriation
Of the Indian nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Hypocrites fighting agin’ immigration
Thinkin’ we’ll be the ones to survive a purification
Hallucination
But yes indeed through our greed we succeed
In winning the war on self-mutilation
Degradation

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Capo 2
Em G/Em
Em Am
Em C D Em

This song is about hating hate. I’ve been assaulted by the police more times than anyone I know. I’ve been assaulted by police in Montgomery County, Chester County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I’ve witnessed police and federal agencies assaulting people in many more locals. It has never been about race. After reading a bunch of racist posts about police brutality and corruption, I go on to read hate posts about immigration. Hello, Earthlings?!?! Is there anyone home? (Still no sign of intelligent life.)

The video features articles, pictures and footage of police intimidation, police brutality and police corruption by The Doylestown Police Department, The Whitpain Township Police Department, The Lower Providence Police Department, The West Chester Police Department, The Philadelphia Police Department, Homeland Security, U.S. Fish And Wildlife, U.S. Park Rangers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

LYRICS
For hours, days, weeks and years
The fears of time moving too fast
’till a time when you wonder how long it will last

Chorus
Endure the torture
A nano-second at a time
Endure the torture
It’s gotta be a crime

Enough to bring a grown man to tears
God how long will time stand still
God have mercy — how long until….

Chorus

Are the clock’s hands even moving
The hourglass’ sands dropping
It the half-life even halfing?

LYRICS
Sorry to say…
The documents are based on falsified information
Ya know, falsified info.
Whoa! Falsified info.
Does that blow?

Chorus
How could this be
The Judge and the District Attorney
In a conspiracy
Oh! The hypocrisy

(That’s it! A hypocrite)

Knock me out of my socks
You can’t just alter the docs
… can’t just alter the docs

Ahhhh… Urgh… Ooooo nooooo

Chorus

The police won’t cease breaking the law
Talk about your shock and awe
Talk about your shock and awe

Chorus

It’s hard to chill
When they’re trying to kill

LYRICS
Have you ever been the victim of corruption
And at a loss for what to do
Public corruption in the Justice institution
Consider it ironic? Consider it tainted, too

The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do

Have you ever been the victim of a public servant
No one can believe it’s true
The way they manipulate and circumvent
Attempting to leave no clue

The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do

LYRICS
Justice delayed is justice denied
When it’s implied, it’s applied
Justice denied

Justice delayed
Justice dismayed
Justice denied

Black hat
White hat
What side?
Justice delayed is justice denied

It might be easy to say
A you just sit on your swing and sway
“That’s nice… justice”
Until they put you behind the bars
The accounts that might just be too bizarre
For you to realize
Treatment by your government…
You might put into size
It might not be quite right

Justice delayed is justice denied

When the government
Wants to implement
Some sort of punishment
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all

When a politician
Takes a position
Of persecution
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all

LYRICS
Until they don’t let ya be
It’s hard, really hard to see
How much it means to be free
So get up off your seat
And on to your “feat”

Make the move meant

It’s time to get up
It’s time to stand up
It’s time to fight for your rights

Doylestown
Might think they’re a royal town
Reigning tyranny down on me
But I want them to know
We won’t let it go
Gonna fight for our rights

Make the move meant

The policeman, the judge… the mayor
Have it out for the butcher and the baker
The policeman, the judge… the mayor
Have it out for everyone even the candlestick maker
Bet you find that hard to believe
Sure you find that hard to believe

An eruption of corruption beyond imagination
Devastation to civilization beyond comprehension
Bet you find that hard to believe
Sure you find that hard to believe

LYRICS
Who is afraid of the big, bad wolf
Meandering propaganda comes from his mouth
Who is afraid of the lion pig
With all that lyin’ his own grave he’ll dig

Chorus
You can huff… you can puff… but you can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll be the clown
You can huff… you can puff… no! You can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll wear the frown

Once upon a time there were three little bears
Into their den Goldilocks dares
Eating their porridge… sitting in their chairs
Until she’s caught in bed, nobody cares

LYRICS
The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Suppose to be a social servant
Suppose to be a civil servant
But, you’re neither civil nor serving
No, you don’t know how to be civil or serve

Causing me to flee
Bugging me out
The police, like lice
All these lice and flees
They’re bugging me out
I can’t scratch enough
They’re so &%$damn tough

The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Police
Mean
Scream, “We need help!”

Hello, 911
I’m being assaulted by an officer of the law
He’s out of line
He’s out of bounds
He’s an outlaw

Assault
Kidnapping
Being restrained against my will
Bring on more trouble, still
